Digital Libraries

Stacy Person, Digital Library Center. We are developing the digital library at UB as part of the UB Libraries, and are interested in collaborating with anyone who is working on a digital library project. We would like to help facilitate the centralization of server resources and other resources that would be of use to the whole group.

Currently working on provision of full metadata for the Darwin
Martin Photograph Collection utilizing the Content DM Acquisition
station (software), the AAT (Getty's Art & Architecture Thesaurus)
and a project-driven version of Dublin Core. Project is a cooperative
effort between the UB Archives/Special Collections and the Western New
York Library Resources Council.

English Literature

Ronan Crowley, Department of English, is marking up two of the extant drafts of the 'Circe' episode of Joyce's Ulysses (one of which is at the Poetry Collection; the other the National Library of Ireland) using the <oXygen/> XML Editor. It's grrreat! Ideally these marked-up texts will then be fed into some wonderful XSLT shell to produce a navigable interface. Here's hoping.

Cristanne Miller, [English Department]Department of English. Possibility of creating a hypertextual edition of Marianne Moore's first poetry notebook, about 160 pages of rough manuscript in which she maps initial (and sometimes more advanced stages) of several major poems, including "Marriage," "The Octopus," "Silence," "Spenser's Ireland," & "Sea Unicorns and Land Unicorns." The notebook is housed in the Rosenbach Museum and Library (Philadelphia), and I have their permission to proceed. The literary estate has up to this point denied permission.
